Abstract
Education is a methodological effort towards learning basic facts about humanity. Whereas Management Education is increasing the understanding of the factors which influence the conduct of organization and providing students with tools and techniques that they can use to influence organizational life [Mehta, 2011]. Management Education is one of those new age courses which have more economic value in today‟s time. Most of the management education in India is in the form of MBA/MMS and PGDM or PGDBM and they are available at full time, part time, distance or online mode. The first full time MBA in India started in 1957 by Andra University and two IIM‟s in Calcutta and Ahmadabad appeared in 1961 and 1962 [Bowonder 2010]. Now the average number of B-Schools per state of India is 300. In 1983, HRD started to give permission for self-financing institutes and collages, subsequently number of B-Schools started to grow. Now, the B-Schools are available at the rural areas of the country also. State government has adopted 70+15+15 pattern for admissions to management education courses; 70% students from local universities, 15% from other universities and 15% from out of the state. Since out of the state students and other university students opt for B-Schools in urban area, the profile of students in rural institutions remains by and large rural. Although, India is called an agricultural country and though its 72% population (Census 2011) is said to be living in rural area, unfortunately the picture of basic education in rural area is not that much satisfactory. NGO Pratham's annual report says that there is high enrolment but poor quality education [infochange, 2010], So the students who have completed graduation from rural area and are seeking admissions in MBA, PGDM or PGDBM have so many lacunas in them. Besides these basic lacunas in students, the B-Schools from rural area also face some problems while running B-Schools. The thing is not that students from rural area are meagre, they have their own strengths. The thing is that the students are nurtured and habited in a way which is not suitable for a management education and that is why these students and B-School face problems in grooming them within 2 years.
